Description

Come home... and decorate your ceramics in the manner of Savoyard potters! Step back in time by discovering an authentic farmhouse from the XVIIIᵉ century and immerse yourself in the daily life of the inhabitants of the Vallée d'Abondance.
This tour will give you a better understanding of the traditional mountain habitat, its organization and the way of life of yesteryear. After this immersion in the past, let's get creative with a ceramic decoration workshop inspired by the skills of Savoyard potters. Discover the history of traditional mountain crockery, the uses to which it was put and the emblematic motifs that adorned local ceramics. Then let your imagination run wild as you decorate your own tableware using paint and felt-tip pens. A complete experience combining heritage, discovery and artistic creation, to learn while having fun. It's a fun activity for everyone, ideal for families, children and adults alike. Provide an apron. Bookings can be made at the Tourist Information Offices of the Evian-Vallée d'Abondance region - Leman Mountains Explore. Reservations are recommended for tours.
